I stand corrected -- I am NOT getting partial matches, I was extracting partial matches from the text programmatically and thought that's what was being returned.
On another topic, regarding Boolean queries and wildcard queries, I have two questions: It seems like when I enter the query "ball AND basket" it returns different results than "ball and basket." Is there a way to make the Boolean operators case insensitive? As for wildcard searches, one of the things I attempt to do is pick out the words that caused a particular file to be returned. However, when I search for the term "yellow~" I might get something like "bellow." Is there a way to list what Lucene found in the document that made it relevant? Thanks for all the help.
